Evidence of the impact of Church and Community Transformation (CCT) in action, from four research studies

This QuIP study demonstrates the way in which Sangasangai (CCT) is promoting an outward looking and active church which is having many positive impacts on the wider community. The study provides clear evidence that:

  • CCT is providing incentives for individual Christians and the church as a whole to reach out to the wider community. 
  • Active churches are bridging relationships between Christians and other faiths. Community relationships have vastly improved. 
  • Relationships and collaboration in the household have also improved with gender equality in decision-making increasing after inspiration from CCT bible studies.
  • Improvements in wellbeing rely on multidimensional factors including faith, self-esteem and relationships 
  • Economic improvements have relied a lot on access to capital and savings groups. But more can be done, particularly to mitigate the challenges of Covid-19.
